Batch 19

The recipe for the beer was discovered in an old log book at the Golden brewery in 2004, after a small flood in the basement. The book -- and the recipe -- pre-dated Prohibition, which banned booze in the United States in 1919.The pre-Prohibition style lager delivers a bold, hoppy flavor that is surprisingly well balanced. Batch 19 derives its bold taste by using a rare combination of hops, including Hersbrucker and Strisslespalt. It gets its name from the last batches of the original that were destroyed in 1919.
